If the plot was as important as the sex, I may say it was a decent read. There were too many plot holes. How would a notorious spy know a prominent English family's secrets? It makes no sense. Hamilton was not over Washington's circle of spies, Benjamin Tallmadge was. Maybe knowing the facts has colored my opinion. I like Andre, but here he is evil. His sexuality had nothing to do with his cleverness. I fear she only mentions it to shock readers.
